Governor Blanco just said on Fox News Channel that Mayor Nagin does not have the authority to order evacuation of New Orleans, that the authority rests with her....and she doesn't have evidence that it is unsafe!
And there are still thugs in New Orleans shooting at the people trying to start putting the city back together.

I'm curious, since Nagin did try to enforce a mandatory evacuation, did he have the buses mobilized?
If this wasn't so serious, it'd be hilarious. They'll be at fist to cuffs before long and there'll be so much mud slung no one will remember to blame Bush.
What the hell is wrong with this broad? Is she trying to hold on to some power out of desperation?
Complete insanity if you ask me. MSM's gonna have to throw her overboard after this crap.
Truly, I'm coming to grudgingly admire Nagin for not strangling this seriously demented woman. I'm beginning to think his inability to act was due to his well-founded fear of the control freak in Baton Rouge.
Is there NO law for removing a crazy person from office? The federal rules have to be rewritten to prevent such a situation ever again. If not, the federal government should just keep their help and our money from a disaster area until the local dictator has been removed.
Question: Who pays for the Amphibious Operation to bring food and water to these people every few days?
I think I know and it's getting depressing.
I predict Louisiana will be even more Democrat in future. Competent, self-respecting people--of all races--are going to leave, and the incompetent, world-owes-me-a-living crowd will stay or return.
Bring her a cupful. If she drinks, no evac.
Will someone please get out a big net, catch that crazy woman,and take her to the Rubber Room?
If you notice the polls, Bush is not getting the blame though the media and the local idiots are trying to make it stick.
I guess the locals will blame the last president, Reagan.
With the utmost respect the other two between Reagan and W don't really count.
"This woman seems to be avoiding all criticism from the MSM. Complete immunity."
She wants the water tested to see if it's really as bad as they say. This woman is an idiot to the 10th factor. I recall one of her first news confer. where she infered, how could the water be toxic, it's just lake water?
I'm not laughing at the people that have been damaged so badly, I'm laughing at the histeria of a political sucker fish that's seeing what it feeds off of leaving to go live somewhere else and vote for someone else. For too long the Jessee Jackson types like this stupid gov have sucked the life out of the same people they have claimed to have wanted to help.
CHECK IT OUT! Juedge Nap says the mayor doesn't actually HAVE the legal authority to forcibly remove people in NOLA...more coming up after this ad. (FOX NEWS)
What Amphibious Op...you mean the Marines, Coast Guard?
"The Mayor has no legal, controlling authority....:
Obviously the Dims have gotten the message out to the MSM that she is not to be touched. My take on it - the party leadership (Hillary) has gotten hold of her and told her that she is their property. She does anything they tell her to, and in exchange they'll keep the media from showing the world just how incompetent she is. If she strays off the reservation ...
The one who should really be sweating now is Nagin. This is more or less confirmation that he will be thrown under the bus when the time comes.
